Switzerland holds a 99–1 advantage over Liechtenstein on the Relative Advantage Index, a decisive margin.
The margin is driven by economic size (GDP) (99% of the combined total, $937bn) and active personnel (100% of the combined total, 20.0k).
3 factors — military spending, nuclear warheads, logistics & power projection — could not be scored because the figure is unpublished for at least one side. Those factors are excluded and the remaining weights renormalised, never substituted.
